....So remember the Pennies?

The other day in traffic there was an individual on the side of the road holding up a cardboard sign looking for some money. I rummaged in my things and all I found was my bag of pennies that I have collected since moving here (see previous post). I thought:

...No those are my little reminders; there is maybe 50 cents in this bag, how embarrassing to hand that to him; I'm sure he will take it as an insult; I was just going to keep all these until I graduated so I could count my blessings; Oh man I can't believe I'm doing this; maybe the light will turn; that's terrible of me why would I think that...

I opened the window, the man approached. I said I was sorry and this was all I had on me. He took it, kind of chuckled and thanked me. The light turned green and I drove away. That little bag may only be worth fifty cents at a store but at the time I found each penny they were worth millions to me. I'm grateful for little reminders that I'm of worth to Him. And so I start again my little collection of tender mercies....

 

"...the tender mercies of the Lord are over all those whom he hath chosen, because of their faith, to make them mighty even unto the power of deliverance.”

 1 Ne. 1:20
